The Shadow of What Was Lost

Book One of the Licanius Trilogy

Sintesi

'Astorytelling assurance rare for a debut . . . Fans of Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson will find much to admire'Guardian

AS DESTINY CALLS, A JOURNEY BEGINS

It has been twenty years since the god-like Augurs were overthrown and killed. Now, those who once served them - the Gifted - are spared only because they have accepted the rebellion's Four Tenets, vastly limiting their own powers.

As a young Gifted, Davian suffers the consequences of a war lost before he was even born. He and others like him are despised. But when Davian discovers he wields the forbidden powers of the Augurs, he sets in motion a chain of events that will change everything.

To the west, a young man whose fate is intertwined with Davian's wakes up in the forest, covered in blood and with no memory of who he is . . .

And in the far north, an ancient enemy long thought defeated, begins to stir.

The shadow of what was lost

Very enjoyable and reminiscent of Robert Jordan. I will certainly buy the next book when it's available.

Not bad

Promising opening prologue but the writing lets it down as modernisms "input" mar a medieval fantasy world. The characters feel too much like American teenagers. I was slightly frustrated by the lack of reveal of key issues by the end. But some cool adventures and good names.

A shadow of what was lost

Reminds me of Robert Jordan in style. A strong start for a trilogy and I will definitely keep an eye out for further books. I can't wait to see where this story goes as the world expands.
